Dr. Ava Khodakhast of Argyle Family Dental in Centennial, Colorado, is a skilled, experienced dental provider in the community who is committed to ensuring patients have access to the latest technologies to achieve and maintain their oral health. In addition to providing preventative, general, cosmetic, and restorative dentistry in her office, she also provides minimally-invasive gum surgery solutions for patients who have been diagnosed with periodontal disease and are concerned about finding a treatment for the infection and resulting gum recession.
Treatment at her office is performed using the LANAP laser gum tissue therapy, a safe and effective way to use today’s technology to address infections within the smile–and restore the smile back to health!
LANAP, which is an acronym for “Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure,” uses a laser to target and remove bacteria from the gum pockets as well as diseased tissue without harming surrounding healthy tissue. It can be used to treat new and current patients of our practice with advanced periodontal disease who may have been previously told that they are not good candidates for traditional scaling and root planing procedures–or for those who want to avoid them.

It is a wonderful alternative to scaling and root planing and continues to be the gold standard in the treatment of periodontitis at any stage!
